Digital printing on notebooks (Cyprus)
Digital printing on notebooks in Cyprus — full-colour CMYK digital print on paperboard and PU leather-faced notebook covers. Runs from 30 units, 5–7 business day lead time from Limassol.
Why digital printing is the right call for full-colour artwork on a notebook at low volume
A Nicosia art gallery wanted 100 branded A5 notebooks for a private-view gift, each carrying a full-colour photograph of the gallery's signature artwork on the cover. Debossing was slow at low volume; UV printing was possible. Digital printing on a HP Indigo 12000 with soft-touch lamination printed the photograph edge-to-edge at 1200 dpi on the PU leather-faced paperboard cover, finished the run in 6 business days. Cost: €7.40 per notebook on a Castelli A5 PU leather-faced 80-page notebook.
